A Down to Earth God: devotionals for the nature lover is an inspirational non-fiction collection of earthy country stories illustrating scripture. Garry Genser, who pastors a country church in a small Northern California town in Humboldt County, humorously reveals his own weaknesses, inviting us to more fully explore our own souls. In this process, simple scriptural truths come to life.
About the Author...
Garry Genser was torn from the oak forests and rolling meadows of Illinois
when his parents relocated to Chicago to get work. He escaped to a Benedictine
Monastery in the woods of Arkansas when a lady who cleaned the local priest’s
house referred him to a monk traveling the country recruiting teenagers.
After two years he rejected the monastic life to move back to Chicago. He wrote
his first novel in an unheated attic that was entered by a crooked stairway
in the bathroom of the third floor apartment beneath. Garry drove a cab to
survive, gorged on the Mother Earth News magazines and dreamed of a new life
in the country. Joining a cult, becoming a teacher, then a real estate agent,
getting married, raising children and finally being found by God, he was given
a new life. It is from the perspective of this new life that Garry Genser now
pastors and writes his inspiring stories. A Down to Earth God: devotionals
for the nature lover celebrates an amazing God who seeks out each one of us
through the daily circumstances of our lives
